Summary:	emerge --config postgresql-server does not work with nonstandard locales due to erroneous regex

Description Oliver Kleinecke 2010-06-02 15:50:13 UTC

The Regex in the line 
[code]MATCHSTRING="([cC]|[pP][oO][sS][iI][xX]|[a-z][a-z]_[A-Z][A-Z]\.[[:alnum:]_-]+)"[/code] of any newer postgresql-server.ebuild file
does not match locales like e.g. de_DE@euro, although those are valid locales. Therefore, emerge --config fails complaining about locales not being set correctly, although everything`s fine.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
emerge --config dev-db/postgresql-server with "nontypic" localename, like de_DE@euro set in /etc/env.d/02locale

Actual Results:  
emerge --config dev-db/postgresql-server fails complaining about wrong locale-settings when using valid, but nontypic localenames


The problem is the regex in the postgresql-server.ebuild :
MATCHSTRING="([cC]|[pP][oO][sS][iI][xX]|[a-z][a-z]_[A-Z][A-Z]\.[[:alnum:]_-]+)"
will NOT match untypical localenames. Works fine with typical ones, like en_US.iso...
